Raspberry 'Glen Moy' (Summer fruiting)

Rubus idaeus

Hardy Shrub

The earliest fruiting raspberry

Summer Fruiting. We believe this to be the best summer fruiting raspberry available, since its introduction in the 1980's. Raspberry 'Glen Moy' produces an abundance of firm, medium sized fruits from June to July on virtually spine-free canes, which make harvesting a pleasure. The outstanding quality of the crop produced by this variety is largely due to its good resistance to virus carrying aphids. All of our raspberries have been inspected by the Ministry of Agriculture for pests and diseases and certified. The bare root plants are hand graded and carefully selected before packing. Height: 150cm (59"). Spread: 50cm (20").

Estimated time to cropping once planted: 16-20 months.Estimated time to best yields: 28-32 months.

Grow summer fruiting raspberry plants in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. The stems of summer fruiting raspberries will require support. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m (6') posts.

Plant raspberry canes in a row against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 60cm (24") between plants. Water well. Canes should be pruned to 15cm (6") above ground level immediately after planting to encourage more shoots to be produced.

Water summer fruiting raspberries well for the first year until plants are fully established. Loosely tie the stems in to their support wires as they grow. When berries begin to develop, place a net over the plants to protect the crop from birds. In autumn, prune the canes which have fruited over summer to ground level. Canes which have not fruited should be 'tied in' to their supports. Aim to have 6 to 8 fruiting canes per plant. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the canes in spring. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer.
